Although the internet began as a loose connection of government and university servers, it has grown way beyond that to be mostly private-sector business servers now, right?

So wouldn't this ruling by the FCC be essentially nationalizing the internet by effectively seizing control of private property in the name of business servers and fiber optic cables?

Shouldn't there be at least a Fifth Amendment takings issue here?

I, too, remember the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Long gone, bud....that stuff is so September 10th.

Good roadmap for lawsuits blocking the implementation of this rule. Wait until a GOP POTUS gets in and lets the AG throw the case.
